Life in Pink #3
Always A Bridesmade
What does a girl do when the lover of her life asks her to marry him? It sounds simple enough; just say, "Yes." There is one sight problem. The girl in question isn't really a girl, and the love of her life doesn't know it.
When Theodora Desmond bolts after Hugo Wainwright asks her to marry him, Hugo, of course, goes after her. But before the two of them can either work things out or come to fisticuffs, they learn that the proprietress of the nefarious Drakestone Hotel, Madam Rochelle, has been murdered. So, before the two can deal with the ongoing chaos of their celebrity, their work, and their relationship, they must discover why Madam Rochelle has left Hugo, a former policeman, turned movie star, the entirety of her very substantial estate. And of course, who murdered her.
Book Three in Nick Hillard’s Life In Pink series, Always A Bridesmaid picks up on the cliffhanger at the end of All That Glitters.

About the author
Nick Hilliard
3 books4 followersI have written for myself for decades. I wrote a short story for my ninth grade English teacher. I got an A+ and I've been hook on story telling ever since. Why write my first book? I had an "event." (Did you know that is medical term. It doesn't mean a social gathering or a party either.)
In February of 2016, I went to walk my dog after I arrived home from work. I feed him and grabbed a quick bit before we headed out. While we were walking I experienced the worst case of heartburn I'd ever had. I came home took a couple of Tums and sat down. The heartburn subsided.
The next day I told my friend and business partner. She felt sure I'd had a heart attack. To appease her and of course to prove her wrong I went to the ER. I think the only person who didn't already anticipated the ending to this story was me. They kept me and I had triple by-pass surgery in less than forty-eight hours.
For the next twelve weeks reading was out. I couldn't focus. Then, I discovered Audible but my regular diet of literature wouldn't work either. Trying to focus on thrillers and their plot twist was near impossible when I was fading in and out of consciousness all day long due to the pain meds.
That's when I found the Cozy Murder Mystery. They were face paced, caused me to think, and most of all they allowed me to back-up to where I'd zoned out without losing track of what was happening the book.
As I came to full recovery, I realized that life is tenuous at best. It really doesn't take much to for our bodies to just stop. So, writing a book had always been on my bucket list. My new-found fascination for the romantic mystery determined my direction. What I was really planning on was the male/male aspect. I wanted to make my heroin distinct. I made that happen my turning her into a him pretending to be a her. I've learned so much about writing styles, researching, working with an editor, working with cover design and how to go about publishing. I wouldn't change any of it either.
Odd bio for sure, but in time it will change and evolve. I am so excited to see my debut book on Good Reads.

** 3.5 Stars **

This final installment of the zany Life in Pink series wrapped up lots of continuing plot threads - not least being the "is-he-or-is-he-not" status of ex-policeman turned Hollywood heart-throb Hugo Wainwright - the heart's desire for sleuthing MC Eddie/Theo. An avalanche of engagements and weddings occurred before the mid-way mark for several supporting characters - Theo and Hugo having to surreptitiously navigate these whilst investigating a rising body count all tied in with the Drakestone Hotel (which bogged the plot pacing down a little IMO). That said - a final ramping up of 'action' and violence led to a surprising revelation of the murderous baddies and HEA finale. 3.5 stars overall.
